The US Campaign for Burma has started a fund for the victims of Cyclone Nargis which has hit Burma hard. The government, and several news agencies, are estimating the death toll at 10,000 and climbing. Wiped out in just one weekend as this storm wiped out villages all along Burma's extensive coastline. An estimated 3,000 more are missing (according to BBC World News).
This is just one opportunity to become involved in some way of supporting the relief that Burma is going to need. This may be the opportunity to drag Burma out of the clutches of the Junta and help them recover at the same time.
